All highway toll gates in Korea use low-speed WIM(Weight-In-Motion) to block overloaded cargo vehicles from entering the main highway, but some cargo vehicle owners are illegally modifying vehicles to operate variable axles and evading crackdowns by manipulating the axles. In previous studies detect all tires of a running vehicle were detected to determine whether there is axle manipulation. However, because the vehicle entry area at the highway toll gate checkpoint is very narrow, there is a problem that it is realistically difficult to film all tires of the entering vehicle in one video frame. In this paper, we proposed a system that can determine whether the axle is being operated through changes in the height of the vehicle's cargo box rather than by detecting tires. To detect changes in the height of a cargo box, we propose a method to extract the representative line of the cargo box using Hough transform and then measure the change in height of the representative line to detect the change in height of the cargo box. In addition, we propose a method to detect changes in the vertical height of a cargo box by accumulating motion vectors of pixels within a certain area of the image using optical flow. And the two methods were compared and their advantages and disadvantages were analyzed and presented.

In the coastal area, many kind of vessels are operating and exposed to the various marine accidents. In particular, small-size vessels, which are not equipped with the safety equipment, are in the defenceless state to the marine accidents such as the accident according to vessel's own state caused by the diverse reasons and the collision with the neighborhood vessels and objectives. So it is necessary to resolve these situations through the inexpensive equipment. This paper implements the function that can detect vessel's own motion using Smart Phone. if the motion is over the threshold value assigned, this function decides that the current situation is dangerous for this vessel. So this function informs Smart Phone's ower in the vessel and the control center of this situation. This function can be applied to small-size vessels, such as fishing boating, passenger ship, and leasure boat, which have few the safety equipments, and then improve vessel's safety navigation.

Natural User Interface(NUI) technologies introduce new trends in using devices such as computer and any other electronic devices. In this paper, an augmented reality on a mobile device is implemented by using face detection, recognition and motion tracking. The face detection is obtained by using Viola-Jones algorithm from the images of the front camera. The Eigenface algorithm is employed for face recognition and face motion tracking. The augmented reality is implemented by overlapping the rear camera image and GPS, accelerator sensors' data with the 3D graphic object which is correspond with the recognized face. The algorithms and methods are limited by the mobile device specification such as processing ability and main memory capacity.

Magnetic sensors and actuators have been widely used in industry and medical fields. Integrated systems based on sensors and actuators are defined as mechatronics that is the general combination of mechanics and electronics. Recently, magnetic wireless sensors and actuators have been developed and used at a systematic level. In particular, their mechanisms depend on magnetic, such as magnetic material and physical phenomena. However, their research boundary has not been clear. Researchers talk of magnetic micro-robots, magnetic actuators and sensors. Therefore, a new and correct definition is required. In this study, we introduce the advanced and extended concept of mechatronics, which is a magneto-mechantronics for biomedical and rehabilitation. Among various applications, we focused on wireless pump and sensing system for blood vessel rehabilitation and local motion capture, respectively.

본 논문에서는 엣지 컴퓨팅을 무인 마켓에 도입하여 엣지 컴퓨팅의 효율성을 확인하고, 로컬 네트워크의 효율적인 대역폭 할당을 위한 두 가지 방법을 제안한다. 무인 마켓과 같이 엄청난 양의 데이터를 필요로 하고 만들어내는 서비스에서는 데이터들을 클라우드로 전송하여 소비자가 불편함을 느끼지 못하도록 빠르게 처리하는 것은 불가능에 가깝다. 그래서 우리는 Amazon Go 를 벤치마킹한 무인 마켓에 엣지 컴퓨팅을 도입하여 이를 구현한다. 그리고 구현한 시스템에서 엣지 컴퓨팅 외에 클라우드 컴퓨팅, 모바일 장치를 적용하여 처리할 때의 응답 시간을 분석하여 엣지 컴퓨팅의 높은 성능을 확인한다. 또한, 구현한 무인 마켓에서 데이터 전송의 효율성을 더욱 높이기 위해 카메라 단위와 매대 단위의 대역폭 할당 기법을 제안한다. 카메라 단위로는 모션 인식기술을 활용하여 움직임이 감지될 때만 각 이미지 프로세스에서 요구되는 고해상도로 송신하는 기법을 제안한다. 매대 단위로는 네트워크에서 수용 가능한 대역폭 임계치에 도달하지 못하게 하기 위해 매대 별 우선순위에 따른 대역폭 할당 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 그 결과로 평균 소모대역폭과 최대 소모대역폭을 비교하여 제안한 두 가지 기법이 기존의 방법에 비해 성능을 향상시키는 것을 보인다.

In recent years, navigation aids, which plays as sea traffic lights, have been digitized, and are developing beyond simple sign purpose to provide various functions such as marine information collection, supervision, control, etc. For example, Busan Port which is located in South Korea is leading the application of the advanced technologies by installing cameras on buoys and recording video images to supervise maritime accidents. However, there are difficulties to perform their major functions since the advanced technologies require long-term battery operation and also management and maintenance of them are hampered by marine characteristics. This study proposes a system that can automatically notify maritime objects passing around buoys by analyzing image information. In the existing sensor-based accident prevention systems, the alarms are generated by a collision detection sensor. The system can identify the cause of the accident whilst even though it is difficult not possible to fundamentally prevent the accidents. Therefore, in order to overcome these limitations, the proposed a maritime object detection system is based on marine characteristics. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed system shows about 5 times faster processing speed than other existing algorithms.

This paper discusses about the development of a visual sensor that can be installed in an automatic mooring device to detect the berthing condition of a vessel. Despite controlling the ship's speed and confirming its location to prevent accidents while berthing a vessel, ship collision occurs at the pier every year, causing great economic and environmental damage. Therefore, it is important to develop a visual system that can quickly obtain the information on the speed and location of the vessel to ensure safety of the berthing vessel. In this study, a visual sensor was developed to observe a ship through an image while berthing, and to properly check the ship's status according to the surrounding environment. To obtain the adequacy of the visual sensor to be developed, the sensor characteristics were analyzed in terms of information provided from the existing sensors, that is, detection range, real-timeness, accuracy, and precision. Based on these analysis data, we developed a 3D visual module that can acquire information on objects in real time by conducting conceptual designs of LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) type 3D visual system, driving mechanism, and position and force controller for motion tilting system. Finally, performance evaluation of the control system and scan speed test were executed, and the effectiveness of the developed system was confirmed through experiments.
